Description

Envase de dispensación y procedimiento para la fabricación del mismo.Dispensing container and procedure for manufacture of it.

Antecedentes de la invenciónBackground of the invention

La presente invención se refiere al campo del envasado de productos de consistencia fluida y similares, y en particular a un envase de dispensación y a un procedimiento para la fabricación del mismo.The present invention relates to the field of packaging of products of fluid consistency and the like, and in particular to a dispensing container and a procedure for manufacture of it.

En la actualidad se encuentran disponibles muchos tipos diferentes de envases o recipientes para el envasado de productos no sólidos del tipo de los que son susceptibles de fluir, como por ejemplo materiales de consistencia fluida o fluidificadas, incluyendo líquidos, pastas, polvos y similares, sustancias que colectiva y genéricamente se designan en la presente memoria como "fluidos". Algunos de dichos envases incluyen un dispensador que permite descargar desde el envase una cantidad seleccionada de fluido, y a continuación vuelve a quedar hermético para cerrar el envase.They are currently available many different types of containers or containers for packaging of non-solid products of the type that are susceptible to flow, such as materials of fluid consistency or fluidized, including liquids, pastes, powders and the like, substances that are collectively and generically designated herein memory as "fluids". Some of these packages include a dispenser that allows to unload from the container an amount selected from fluid, and then becomes airtight again To close the container.

Se han utilizado válvulas de dispensación con cierre automático de hermeticidad para determinados tipos de productos, como por ejemplo el recipiente divulgado en la patente de Estados Unidos Núm.. 4,728,006 de Drobish et al, el cual está diseñado para champús, acondicionadores, y similares. Sin embargo, se sabe que dichas válvulas experimentan determinados problemas de estanqueidad y peculiaridades de dispensación irregulares, particularmente cuando los envases están expuestos a variaciones de temperatura considerables.Dispensing valves with automatic seal of tightness have been used for certain types of products, such as the container disclosed in US Patent No. 4,728,006 to Drobish et al , which is designed for shampoos, conditioners, and the like. However, it is known that said valves experience certain problems of tightness and irregular dispensing peculiarities, particularly when the containers are exposed to considerable temperature variations.

Recientemente se han utilizado válvulas de caucho de silicona líquida en algunos tipos de envase, y han resultado particularmente ventajosas ya que el material es inherentemente bastante inerte y, por consiguiente, no se adultera ni reacciona con el producto envasado. Ejemplos de envases del tipo indicado se proporcionan en las patentes de Estados Unidos del solicitante núms... 5,033,655, 5,213,236; 5,377,877 y 5,409,144 de Brown et al, que se incorporan por referencia en la presente memoria.Recently, liquid silicone rubber valves have been used in some types of packaging, and they have been particularly advantageous since the material is inherently quite inert and, therefore, does not become adulterated or react with the packaged product. Examples of packages of the type indicated are provided in the US patents of the applicant Nos ... 5,033,655, 5,213,236; 5,377,877 and 5,409,144 of Brown et al , which are incorporated by reference herein.

Aunque el caucho de silicona líquida posee muchos atributos para su uso en el envaso, tiene también otras características que hacen problemáticas dichas aplicaciones. Por ejemplo, las superficies de las piezas de caucho de silicona líquida son extremadamente viscosas o pegajosas, con un coeficiente de fricción muy alto. Como resultado de ello, la manipulación de las mismas es difícil, y al intentar fijar una válvula de dispensación a un recipiente mediante una disposición de collarín roscado convencional, las superficies de la brida de válvula suelen fijarse firmemente a las superficies contiguas del recipiente y del collarín antes de que el collarín pueda ser apretado de una manera suficientemente firme para crear una hermeticidad a prueba de fugas. El apriete del collarín provoca a menudo que la brida de la válvula así como la totalidad de la válvula se distorsione respecto de su forma original diseñada, impidiendo de esta forma la constitución de un cierre hermético seguro, y/o modificando la dispensación pretendida y las características de estanqueidad de la válvula.Although liquid silicone rubber has Many attributes for use in packaging, it also has other characteristics that make these applications problematic. By example, the surfaces of silicone rubber parts Liquid are extremely viscous or sticky, with a coefficient of very high friction. As a result, the manipulation of The same is difficult, and when trying to fix a dispensing valve to a container by means of a threaded collar arrangement conventional, the surfaces of the valve flange are usually fixed firmly to the adjacent surfaces of the bowl and collar before the collar can be tightened in a way firm enough to create a waterproof leaks The tightening of the collar often causes the flange of the valve as well as the entire valve is distorted with respect in its original designed form, thus preventing constitution of a secure seal, and / or modifying the intended dispensing and sealing characteristics of the valve.

Otro inconveniente asociado con el uso de caucho de silicona líquida en válvulas de dispensación para el envasado de productos es que no puede ser susceptible de fusión térmica. Así mismo, no existe actualmente una tecnología disponible para adherir de forma rápida y fiable una válvula de silicona líquida a un recipiente, al menos sin una preparación sustancial, lo que en este momento hace poco viable el montaje comercial a alta velocidad.Another drawback associated with the use of rubber of liquid silicone in dispensing valves for the packaging of Products is that it cannot be susceptible to thermal fusion. So same, there is currently no technology available to adhere quickly and reliably a liquid silicone valve to a container, at least without substantial preparation, what in this The commercial high-speed assembly has recently become viable.

Numerical reference 1 (Figs. 1 to 4) generically designates a dispensing container incorporating the present invention. The dispensing container 1 is particularly designed and adapted for use in combination with products of fluid consistency, such as juices, cold tea, punches and other similar products. The dispensing container 1 includes a container 2 that is configured to receive and retain the product of fluid consistency therein, and includes a discharge opening or opening 4 made therethrough. An automatic seal 5 includes a flange portion 6 and a head portion 7 with a hole 8 that opens and closes in response to the application of a predetermined discharge pressure. The flange portion 6 of the closure 5 surrounds and encompasses the discharge opening 4 of the dispensing container 1, and is constructed from a thermoplastic material thermally coupled to the dispensing container 1 to constitute a firm interconnection and a seal to the fluids between
they.

El envase de dispensación ilustrado 1 tiene la naturaleza de una bolsa o saco de colocación vertical, y está construido a partir de una tira de un material termosellable relativamente delgado, como por ejemplo una hoja o película laminada, e incluye una porción de saco 15, y un panel de fondo 16 en el cual está dispuesta la abertura de descarga 4 del envase de dispensación 1. Como se explica con mayor detalle más adelante, la porción de saco ilustrada 15 del envase de dispensación 1 puede estar constituida por unas tiras de interconexión de un material termosellable, flexible, relativamente delgado, mediante conexiones o uniones termoselladas continuas 17 en la parte superior del recipiente 2, y en la referencia numérica 18 a lo largo de los bordes laterales opuestos 19 del recipiente 2.The dispensing container illustrated 1 has the nature of a bag or sack of vertical placement, and is constructed from a strip of heat sealable material relatively thin, such as a sheet or film laminated, and includes a bag portion 15, and a bottom panel 16 in which the discharge opening 4 of the packaging of dispensing 1. As explained in more detail below, the illustrated sack portion 15 of the dispensing container 1 may be constituted by interconnection strips of a material heat sealable, flexible, relatively thin, through connections or continuous heat sealed joints 17 at the top of the container 2, and in numerical reference 18 along the opposite side edges 19 of the container 2.

Como se describe con mayor detalle más adelante, el panel inferior ilustrado 16 del envase de dispensación 1 puede también constituirse a partir de una tira 22 (Figs. 5 a 8) de un material termosellable, flexible, relativamente delgado, como por ejemplo una hoja o película laminada. En el ejemplo ilustrado, las aberturas de descarga 4 tienen una forma con planta circular, y están situadas en una relación de separación a intervalos regulares predeterminada a lo largo de la línea central longitudinal de la tira 22.As described in more detail below, the illustrated lower panel 16 of the dispensing container 1 can also be constituted from a strip 22 (Figs. 5 to 8) of a heat-sealable, flexible, relatively thin material, as per example a sheet or laminated film. In the illustrated example, the discharge openings 4 have a circular plan shape, and are located in a separation relationship at regular intervals predetermined along the longitudinal centerline of the strip 22.

En el ejemplo ilustrado, la válvula con cierre automático de hermeticidad o cierre 5 (Figs. 4A a 4C) tiene una forma sustancialmente análoga a la válvula de dispensación divulgada en la Patente estadounidense relacionada 5,213,236, e incluye una porción de manguito conector elásticamente flexible, que tiene una porción terminal del mismo conectada con la porción de brida 6 del cierre 5, y una porción terminal opuesta respecto de aquella conectada con la porción de cabezal 7 del cierre 5. Como se analiza en la patente 5,213,236 de Brown et al., el cierre 5 adopta una orientación genéricamente cóncava cuando el orificio 8 está en posición completamente cerrada (Fig. 4A) y una orientación convexa cuando el orificio 8 está en posición completamente abierta (Fig. 4C). La porción de manguito conector 25 del cierre 5 permite que la porción de cabezal 7 del cierre 5 alterne entre las posiciones completamente abierta y completamente cerrada. El manguito conector 25 del cierre ilustrado 5 tiene una configuración en sección transversal, longitudinal, en forma de J, y la porción de cabezal 7 tiene un grosor ahusado, en el que la porción interior de la porción de cabezal 7 dispuesta contiguamente al orificio 8 es más delgada que la porción exterior de la porción de cabezal 7. La porción de cabezal ilustrada 7 tiene una superficie interior 26 de configuración arqueada y una superficie exterior 27 de configuración arqueada, en la que la superficie interior 26, que comunica con el producto de consistencia fluida, tiene un radio mayor que la superficie exterior 27, la cual comunica con la atmósfera exterior.In the illustrated example, the valve with automatic seal or seal 5 (Figs. 4A to 4C) has a shape substantially analogous to the dispensing valve disclosed in related US Patent 5,213,236, and includes an elastically flexible connector sleeve portion, having a terminal portion thereof connected with the flange portion 6 of the closure 5, and an opposite terminal portion with respect to that connected with the head portion 7 of the closure 5. As discussed in Patent 5,213,236 of Brown et al ., the closure 5 adopts a generally concave orientation when the hole 8 is in a completely closed position (Fig. 4A) and a convex orientation when the hole 8 is in a completely open position (Fig. 4C). The connector sleeve portion 25 of the closure 5 allows the head portion 7 of the closure 5 to alternate between the fully open and fully closed positions. The connecting sleeve 25 of the illustrated closure 5 has a longitudinal, J-shaped cross-sectional configuration, and the head portion 7 has a tapered thickness, in which the inner portion of the head portion 7 disposed adjacent to the hole 8 it is thinner than the outer portion of the head portion 7. The illustrated head portion 7 has an inner surface 26 of arched configuration and an outer surface 27 of arched configuration, in which the inner surface 26, which communicates with the product of fluid consistency, it has a radius greater than the outer surface 27, which communicates with the outside atmosphere.

El cierre automático de hermeticidad ilustrado 5 se presenta en forma de una válvula de una pieza, que tiene una configuración en alzado lateral en forma de sombrero en su estado moldeado o normal. La flexibilidad elástica de la porción de manguito conector 25 permite que la misma se doble en dos y a continuación se extienda de forma ondulante, a modo de diafragma rodante con la porción de cabezal 7 de la válvula montada en el centro de la misma de forma que permita que la porción de cabezal 7 de la válvula se desplace o flote libremente hacia dentro y hacia fuera en dirección axial con respecto a la abertura de descarga 4 del recipiente 2.Automatic sealing closure illustrated 5 It comes in the form of a one-piece valve, which has a configuration in side elevation in the form of a hat in its state molded or normal. The elastic flexibility of the portion of connector sleeve 25 allows it to bend in two and to then it extends undulatingly, as a diaphragm with the head portion 7 of the valve mounted on the center of it so as to allow the head portion 7 of the valve moves or floats freely in and out outside in axial direction with respect to the discharge opening 4 of the container 2.

El movimiento de vaivén de la porción de cabezal 7 de la válvula y de la porción de manguito conector 25 proporciona varias e importantes ventajas al envase de dispensación 1. Por ejemplo, la porción de manguito conector 25 está preferentemente configurada con la suficiente flexibilidad para que los incrementos de presión anormales desarrollados en el interior del recipiente 2, como por ejemplo los ocasionados mediante expansión térmica, vibraciones, fuerzas de impacto por choque, y similares, sean contrarrestados por el movimiento de variación axial de la porción de cabezal 7 de la válvula con respecto a la porción de brida marginal 6, para aliviar el exceso de presión sobre el orificio de descarga 8.The reciprocating movement of the head portion 7 of the valve and connector sleeve portion 25 provides several important advantages to the dispensing container 1. By example, the connector sleeve portion 25 is preferably configured with enough flexibility for increments abnormal pressure developed inside the vessel 2, such as those caused by thermal expansion, vibrations, shock impact forces, and the like, be counteracted by the axial variation movement of the portion head 7 of the valve with respect to the flange portion marginal 6, to relieve excess pressure on the orifice of download 8.

Otro ejemplo de los beneficios obtenidos por el movimiento en vaivén de la porción de cabezal 7 de la válvula sobre la porción de manguito 25 es que la porción de manguito 25 está preferentemente configurada con la suficiente flexibilidad para que cualquier desalineación y/o distorsión de la porción de brida 6 de la válvula no sea transmitida a la porción de cabezal 7 de la válvula permitiendo con ello el funcionamiento sin obstáculos del orificio de descarga 8. La porción de manguito conector 25 tiende a incomunicar o aislar la porción de cabezal 7 de la válvula con respecto a la porción de brida marginal 6, de forma que pueda flotar libremente, evitando con ello los problemas asociados con la distorsión del orificio 8 o de la porción de cabezal 7 de la válvula. Esta característica es particularmente importante en el envase de dispensación ilustrado, en el que el recipiente 2 está construido a partir de un material altamente flexible, como por ejemplo la hoja o la película laminada de papel metalizado ilustrada. Cuando se aplica una presión al recipiente 2 para dispensar desde éste el producto de consistencia fluida, el panel inferior 16 puede distorsionarse, particularmente cuando el envase de dispensación se está vaciando. La naturaleza flexible de la porción de manguito conector 25 permite que la porción de cabezal 7 de la válvula actúe en vaivén libremente, incluso cuando el panel de fondo 16 resulta distorsionado, asegurando de esta forma unas características de flujo convenientes, y evitando fugas.Another example of the benefits obtained by the reciprocating movement of the head portion 7 of the valve over the sleeve portion 25 is that the sleeve portion 25 is preferably configured with enough flexibility so that any misalignment and / or distortion of the flange portion 6 of the valve is not transmitted to the head portion 7 of the valve thereby allowing unobstructed operation of the discharge hole 8. The connector sleeve portion 25 tends to incommunicate or isolate the head portion 7 of the valve with with respect to the marginal flange portion 6, so that it can float freely, thereby avoiding the problems associated with the distortion of hole 8 or head portion 7 of the valve. This feature is particularly important in the illustrated dispensing container, in which the container 2 is constructed from a highly flexible material, as per example foil or foil laminated film illustrated. When a pressure is applied to container 2 to dispense from it the product of fluid consistency, the panel bottom 16 may be distorted, particularly when the container of dispensing is emptying. The flexible nature of the connector sleeve portion 25 allows the head portion 7 of the valve act in reciprocating freely, even when the panel background 16 is distorted, thus ensuring Convenient flow characteristics, and avoiding leaks.

Otro beneficio adicional obtenido por el movimiento de vaivén de la porción de cabezal 7 de la válvula es que la porción de manguito conector 25 está preferentemente configurada con la suficiente flexibilidad para que se requiera una presión razonablemente moderada (esto es, una que sustancialmente sea inferior a la presión aplicada sobre la abertura predeterminada del orificio 8) para modificar la porción de cabezal 7 de la válvula desde la posición cerrada y completamente retraída mostrada en la Fig. 4A hasta la posición cerrada y completamente extendida mostrada en la Fig. 4C, mejorando con ello la "sensación" de dispensación del envase de dispensación 1. Cuando el usuario agarra el recipiente 2 y aplica una fuerza a las paredes laterales, la presión generada en el interior del recipiente provoca que la porción de cabezal 7 de la válvula varíe sobre la porción de manguito conector flexible 25 entre la posición cerrada y completamente retraída mostrada en la Fig. 4A hasta la posición cerrada y completamente extendida mostrada en la Fig. 4B, punto en el que la porción de cabezal 7 de la válvula se detiene momentáneamente, y el desplazamiento ulterior de la porción de cabezal 7 de la válvula resiste hasta que se ejerzan fuerzas adicionales sobre el recipiente 2, lo que requiere una presión interna dentro del recipiente 2 mayor que la presión de apertura predeterminada del orificio 8. Este movimiento de la porción 25 de manguito de conector flexible y de la porción de cabezal 7 de la válvula es detectado por el usuario a través del tacto o de una sensación, típicamente en forma de vibración o sensación ondulatoria experimentada en las paredes laterales del recipiente cuando la porción de cabezal 7 de la válvula alcanza la posición cerrada, completamente extendida (Fig. 4B). El movimiento ondulatorio indica al usuario que la porción de cabezal 7 de la válvula está completamente extendida, y que una presión adicional provocará que el orificio 8 se abra instantáneamente y dispense el producto de consistencia fluida. Cuando el orificio 8 se abre y cierra instantáneamente, se comunican unas vibraciones u ondulaciones al usuario a través de las paredes laterales del recipiente para contribuir a obtener un control del flujo preciso.Another additional benefit obtained by the reciprocating motion of the head portion 7 of the valve is that the connector sleeve portion 25 is preferably configured with enough flexibility to require a reasonably moderate pressure (that is, one that substantially is less than the pressure applied on the predetermined opening of hole 8) to modify the head portion 7 of the valve from closed and fully retracted position shown in Fig. 4A to the closed and fully extended position shown in Fig. 4C, thereby improving the "feeling" of dispensing of the dispensing container 1. When the user grabs the container 2 and applies a force to the side walls, the pressure generated inside the container causes the head portion 7 of the valve varies over the portion of flexible connector sleeve 25 between the closed position and fully retracted shown in Fig. 4A to position closed and fully extended shown in Fig. 4B, point in which the head portion 7 of the valve stops momentarily, and the subsequent displacement of the portion of valve head 7 resists until forces are exerted additional on container 2, which requires a pressure inside the vessel 2 greater than the opening pressure predetermined hole 8. This movement of portion 25 of flexible connector sleeve and head portion 7 of the valve is detected by the user through touch or a sensation, typically in the form of vibration or sensation experienced wave in the side walls of the container when the head portion 7 of the valve reaches the position closed, fully extended (Fig. 4B). The movement wave indicates to the user that the head portion 7 of the valve is fully extended, and that an additional pressure will cause hole 8 to open instantly and dispense the product of fluid consistency. When hole 8 opens and Instantly close, some vibrations are communicated or undulations to the user through the side walls of the vessel to contribute to flow control precise.

Aunque la forma del cierre automático de hermeticidad 5 es similar a la divulgada en la patente de Brown et al 5,213,236, el presente cierre automático de hermeticidad 5 está constituido a partir de un material termoplástico, en lugar del material de caucho de silicona líquida preferentemente utilizado en combinación con la válvula de Brown et al de la técnica anterior. Mediante el empleo de un material termoplástico, al menos en la porción de brida 6 del cierre 5, el cierre 5 puede ser acoplado por fusión térmica al envase de dispensación 1 de la forma analizada con mayor detalle más adelante.Although the shape of the automatic sealing 5 is similar to that disclosed in the Brown et al 5,213,236 patent, the present automatic sealing 5 is constituted from a thermoplastic material, instead of the liquid silicone rubber material preferably used in combination with the Brown et al valve of the prior art. By using a thermoplastic material, at least in the flange portion 6 of the closure 5, the closure 5 can be thermally coupled to the dispensing container 1 in the manner discussed in greater detail below.

En una forma de realización funcional de la presente invención, el cierre 5 está construido a partir de un compuesto de caucho termoplástico, como por ejemplo un polímero de mezcla de marca Kraton, y en particular, el comercializado con la denominación o marca Dynaflex G2735.In a functional embodiment of the present invention, the closure 5 is constructed from a thermoplastic rubber compound, such as a polymer of Kraton brand mix, and in particular, the one marketed with the designation or brand Dynaflex G2735.

En funcionamiento, un envase de dispensación 1 lleno puede utilizarse para dispensar el producto de consistencia fluida aplicando simplemente una presión sobre la porción de saco 15 del envase de dispensación 1 suficiente para cambiar la porción de cabezal 7 del cierre 5 a la posición completamente abierta, y abrir la porción de orificio 8 del cierre 5. Una corriente de producto de consistencia fluida es a continuación dispensado desde el envase de dispensación 1, la cual puede dirigirse sobre un recipiente de bebida apropiado o directamente a la boca del usuario. Alternativamente, como se muestra en la Fig. 2, puede insertarse una paja 28 a través del orificio de cierre 8 para extraer el fluido del envase de dispensación 1 aplicando un vacío a la paja 28.In operation, a dispensing container 1 full can be used to dispense the product of consistency fluid by simply applying pressure on the sack portion 15 of the dispensing container 1 sufficient to change the portion from head 7 of closure 5 to the fully open position, and open the hole portion 8 of the closure 5. A stream of fluid consistency product is then dispensed from the dispensing container 1, which can be directed on a appropriate beverage container or directly to the mouth of the Username. Alternatively, as shown in Fig. 2, you can a straw 28 is inserted through the closure hole 8 to extract the fluid from the dispensing container 1 by applying a vacuum to the straw 28.

Las Figs. 5 a 16 ilustran esquemáticamente un procedimiento que incorpora la presente invención para fabricar el envase de dispensación 1. Con referencia a la Fig. 5, se proporciona un rollo 30 de material termosellable, flexible, relativamente delgado, que es desenrollado y cortado para formar la tira plana 22. Las aberturas 4 de descarga se conforman en primer término en la tira 22 a intervalos regulares a lo largo de la línea central longitudinal de la tira 22 por medios tales como la operación ilustrada de corte o perforación, la cual incluye unas piezas de troquel de corte coincidentes 35 y 36. La tira perforada 22 es a continuación introducida en la siguiente estación, donde los cierres automáticos 5 de hermeticidad son fijados a la cinta perforada 22. En el ejemplo ilustrado en la Fig. 7, cada cierre 5 es moldeado in situ directamente sobre la tira 22, la cual en último término constituirá el panel de fondo 16 del envase de dispensación 1. Cada cierre 5 es situado concéntricamente alrededor de una abertura de descarga asociada 4, de forma que la porción de brida 6 del cierre 5 engloba la abertura de descarga asociada 4. En el ejemplo ilustrado en la Fig. 7, todo el cierre 5 es moldeado a partir del mismo material termoplástico, de forma que la porción de brida 6 del cierre 5 es automáticamente y de manera integral acoplado por fusión térmica sobre el panel de fondo 16. La tira 22 con los cierres 5 constituidos o de alguna manera montados sobre el mismo, en la forma mostrada en la Fig. 8, es a continuación transportada hasta una estación ranuradora, como se muestra en la Fig. 9, donde se conforman los orificios 8.Figs. 5 to 16 schematically illustrate a process incorporating the present invention for manufacturing the dispensing container 1. With reference to Fig. 5, a roll 30 of heat-sealable, flexible, relatively thin material is provided, which is unwound and cut to form the flat strip 22. The discharge openings 4 are first formed in the strip 22 at regular intervals along the longitudinal centerline of the strip 22 by means such as the illustrated cutting or drilling operation, which includes parts of matching cutting die 35 and 36. The perforated strip 22 is then introduced into the next station, where the automatic seals 5 are fixed to the perforated tape 22. In the example illustrated in Fig. 7, each closure 5 it is molded in situ directly on the strip 22, which will ultimately constitute the bottom panel 16 of the dispensing container 1. Each closure 5 is located concentrically. around an associated discharge opening 4, so that the flange portion 6 of the closure 5 encompasses the associated discharge opening 4. In the example illustrated in Fig. 7, all the closure 5 is molded from the same material thermoplastic, so that the flange portion 6 of the closure 5 is automatically and integrally coupled by thermal fusion on the bottom panel 16. The strip 22 with the closures 5 constituted or somehow mounted thereon, in the form shown in Fig. 8, is then transported to a slotting station, as shown in Fig. 9, where the holes 8 are formed.

En el ejemplo mostrado en la Fig. 9, las porciones de cabezal 7 de los cierres 5 moldeados sobre la tira continua 22 son ranuradas para constituir unos orificios 8 en forma de ranuras transversales, en los que las dos ranuras 32 y 33 (Fig. 10) están situadas en una relación mutuamente perpendicular. El orificio 8 de la válvula mostrado en la Fig. 9, es conformado por un troquel cortador 40 que tiene unas cuchillas 41 en forma de X adaptando la forma de ranura transversal deseada. Un troquel de soporte 42 es situado contra la superficie exterior 27 del cabezal de la válvula para asegurar el completo ranurado. Pueden emplearse otras técnicas para constituir los orificios 8, como por ejemplo corte por láser o similares. La realización de la operación de conformación de los orificios mientras los cierres 5 están todavía montados sobre la tira continua 22 contribuye a asegurar una colocación correcta del orificio 8 en cada cabezal 7 de la válvula incluso durante una fabricación de alta velocidad, que asegura una alineación adecuada de aquéllos.In the example shown in Fig. 9, the head portions 7 of the closures 5 molded onto the strip continuous 22 are grooved to form holes 8 in shape of transverse grooves, in which the two grooves 32 and 33 (Fig. 10) are located in a mutually perpendicular relationship. He hole 8 of the valve shown in Fig. 9, is formed by a cutting die 40 having X-shaped blades 41 adapting the desired transverse groove shape. A die of support 42 is located against the outer surface 27 of the head of the valve to ensure complete grooving. Can be used other techniques for forming holes 8, such as laser cutting or similar. The performance of the operation of shaping of the holes while the closures 5 are still mounted on the continuous strip 22 helps to ensure a correct placement of hole 8 in each valve head 7 even during high speed manufacturing, which ensures a proper alignment of those.

Como se ilustra en la Fig. 11, después de que los cierres 5 han sido ranurados o tratados de cualquier otra forma para constituir los orificios asociados 8, la tira continua 22 es cortada en sentido longitudinal para constituir los conjuntos individuales 45, los cuales, en el ejemplo ilustrado, quedarán en último término montados sobre las porciones de saco 15 de los envases de dispensación 1. Debe entenderse que los conjuntos individuales 45 pueden utilizarse en una amplia variedad de aplicaciones de envasado, incluyendo su fijación a una envuelta, pared lateral, esquina del recipiente, o similares.As illustrated in Fig. 11, after the locks 5 have been grooved or treated in any other way to constitute the associated holes 8, the continuous strip 22 is cut lengthwise to constitute the assemblies individual 45, which, in the illustrated example, will remain in last term mounted on the bag portions 15 of the dispensing containers 1. It should be understood that the sets 45 individual can be used in a wide variety of packaging applications, including fixing to a wrap, side wall, corner of the container, or the like.

Debe entenderse que la presente invención contempla también el montaje de un cierre automático de hermeticidad 5 ya constituido sobre la tira continua 22 mediante termosellado de la porción de brida 6 del cierre 5 al panel de fondo 16. Puede utilizarse un utillaje convencional de fusión térmica o sellado incluyendo dispositivos ultrasónicos para acoplar por fusión térmica la porción de brida 6 de cierre 5 al panel 16 de fondo para formar una interconexión segura y un cierre firme estanco a los fluidos entre ellos. Una desventaja asociada con el montaje de los cierres premanufacturados 5 sobre la tira continua 22 implica una manipulación extra de los cierres 5, para asegurar su correcta orientación alrededor de las aberturas 4 de descarga situadas en la tira 22. Este inconveniente se resuelve moldeando los cierres 5 in situ directamente sobre la tira continua 22.It should be understood that the present invention also contemplates the assembly of an automatic seal of tightness 5 already constituted on the continuous strip 22 by heat sealing the flange portion 6 of the closure 5 to the bottom panel 16. A conventional thermal fusion tool can be used or sealed including ultrasonic devices for thermal fusion coupling the closing flange portion 6 to the bottom panel 16 to form a secure interconnection and a firm fluid tight seal between them. A disadvantage associated with the assembly of the pre-manufactured closures 5 on the continuous strip 22 implies an extra manipulation of the closures 5, to ensure their correct orientation around the discharge openings 4 located on the strip 22. This problem is solved by molding the closures. 5 in situ directly on the continuous strip 22.

Las Figs. 14 y 15 ilustran esquemáticamente un procedimiento para fabricar la porción de saco ilustrada 15 del envase de dispensación 1. Una tira 50 de material termosellable, preferentemente el mismo que el de la tira 22 del panel de fondo, es primeramente cortada para formar dos paneles análogos 51 y 52, los cuales son situados en relación superpuesta, como se muestra en la Fig. 15. Los bordes laterales 19 de los paneles 51 y 52 son termosellados entre sí a lo largo de las líneas 18 de conexión para formar los lados opuestos de la porción de saco 15.Figs. 14 and 15 schematically illustrate a procedure for manufacturing the illustrated sack portion 15 of the dispensing container 1. A strip 50 of heat sealable material, preferably the same as that of strip 22 of the bottom panel, It is first cut to form two analog panels 51 and 52, which are located in superimposed relationship, as shown in Fig. 15. The side edges 19 of panels 51 and 52 are heat sealed to each other along connection lines 18 for form opposite sides of the bag portion 15.
